The folks at Bachelorette Superstore passed along this new infographic.

The design is pretty well organized and includes valuable information for bridesmaids to save money on bachelorette parties. I like the quick list at the end with fast tips on how to save (and corresponding icons for each).

There’s a pretty good balance of text and icons/data visualization so that the viewer can navigate quickly and confidently through the infographic. It also does a pretty good job of leaving branding off until near the end, so the viewer sees the value of the information before they feel like they’re being sold to.

Overall I’d give this infographic a B+ for its clarity and the focus of information, but there are places where the text could be tightened up (like the intro paragraph and some of the stat descriptions) to streamline the info a bit more.

This infographic was submitted to us by Casino Toplists.

There is a ton of information on this little graphic. It’s good to see space used efficiently, and the color scheme lends itself to old Vegas style, which is refreshing. There’s a pretty good amount of data viz, balanced with iconography, and most of the design sticks with the theme.

On the other hand, the way everything is crowded together leaves little to no room for negative space, which is a little exhausting. The Most Expensive Casinos section is one place in particular where I have a hard time focusing on any one thing. I think the inconsistent fonts is also a bit distracting to the eye.

Additionally, the multi-sentence intros at each section are daunting in an infographic. I initially am disinclined to read them because there’s so much else going on with design and data viz. Shortening or eliminating those will help–they also don’t need to be in such a large font, as it makes them look longer than they are.

The IG also seems to be at a poor resolution, which is making the skinny font difficult to focus on in places.

Better spacing, smaller fonts, and less text will vastly improve this IG, but for now it’s about as overwhelming as Vegas itself! I’d give it a B-, because it’s clearly well-researched. It just needs some room to breathe.

This infographic was submitted to us by Slots of Vegas, who had this to say:

“This infographic brings a succulent list of gambling athletes, socialites, actors, A-listers, B-listers, No-listers and obviously one hot beach blonde to spice things up. Trust me. Gambling with celebrities is NOTHING like you see in the movies.”

The majority of this infographic is not actually an infographic–though it is really well-done. I love all the little cartoon bodies on the celebrity heads. My favorite is the human body on Marge Simpson’s head. It’s completely adorable. However, all the descriptions of what the celebrities have been up to are just that: descriptions. There is no data viz to accompany these facts, which makes all the information in the top half exclusively text.

There’s an unfortunate typo up there too–Pamela Anderson allegedly “offered x-rated ‘moves’ to settle a $250 K debt…” Given the video camera at her cartoon feet, it would seem that was meant to say “movies.” Oops!

I’ve got to wonder about the data a bit for the total winnings and what they could buy. If $1,182,000 could buy 9 houses in the United States, that would make each house only $131,333 and change. Maybe in the middle of nowhere houses only cost that much, but in a lot of metropolitan areas, even condos cost much more than this.

Overall I’d give the infographic a C-. Some more data viz and a few more statistics would be nice, but the design is pretty cute and there aren’t many typos or other technical errors. When more data visualization is employed, this will be a pretty engaging example of an infographic.

This sinful infographic was brought to us by Slots of Vegas.

Beginning with a cute night skyline, this infographic looks promising. There’s a nice use of iconography throughout, hearkening to the slot machines so often cited in the statistics here. The designer makes great use of color, making each section distinct and visually intriguing. And who doesn’t love the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign?

That said, there are several things that could be improved here. The red ribbon headings could be more effective if the data were properly organized to fit in each section, instead of overlapping between them. “Guess what..?” includes statistics about places people visited, which reiterates “Where can I go?” Some of the iconography really isn’t working. For example, at first I read the title as “What Do in…,” completely skipping over the blue icon. Then I thought the icon was a strange 2: “What 2 Do in…” Once I spotted the identical purple icon in “Quick facts,” I realized it was supposed to be a person, and the title reads “What People Do in…” That took pretty long. Plus, using the British pound currency symbol to indicate weight of shrimp consumption doesn’t translate, especially not under a heading “Where can I go?”

In addition to typos and organizational issues, some prime visualization opportunities are passed up or deferred to classic/repetitive tactics. In “Quick facts,” what is that wedding trophy doing amidst a (nicely re-imagined, I might add) circle chart of percentages? In “How to Move in Las Vegas” I would have loved to see the taxi portrayed as larger than the bus, to show that there are far more taxis than buses in Vegas.

With cute smiling people all over this infographic, nice Vegas-like abundance of color, and a wealth of relevant data, this infographic is better than some. However, consistency, technical problems, and organization are holding it back. Overall, I’d give this infographic a C. More editing and cleaner organization/visualization will take this further.
